I am Vygantas Navickas, a self-taught artist from Lithuania. My art is a reflection of chaos and the diversity of life, where every detail holds its own story and emotion. I love to experiment with different techniques and themes, unafraid to make mistakes or stray from tradition. Often, I use objects that have lost their value, yet in my hands, they are reborn, finding new life as if awakening anew.

While my work may appear chaotic, beneath the surface, it reveals themes of freedom, independence, and inner devotion. It’s like an inner journey when something completely consumes you, and you break free from everyday life, forgetting everything around you and existing solely in this moment – here and now. Each brushstroke, each creation is an attempt to immerse myself in this deep feeling where time stops, and the soul is free.

Through my art, I try to hide the inner pain and depression caused by a severe heart condition. It’s my way of coping with what words often fail to express. Only when creating do I manage to forget and escape the thought that there is little time left to live. Every artwork is not just a piece of art but a form of freedom – a chance to feel, to create, and to live with the full pulse of my heart, even though it is damaged.
